The Weekly Scroll of Things to Know.

We have a little more than a month left in the semester and juggling college with work, family, friends and life can get a little crazy sometimes. We all need a little help along the way. Be sure to take advantage of the resources we offer to help you stay on track and to keep the worry at bay.

Save the date for Interfraternity Council Tugs: April 17-22, 2023

Tugs is an annual spring competition hosted by IFC that is similar to tug of war. With over half-a-century history, 麻豆精品's version of tugs differs from traditional tug-of-war competitions in that each individual team member stands in a "trench." The trenches allow each tugger on the team to obtain leverage and coordinate strategic moves.

 

Tugs is more than an annual competition. This philanthrophic event raises and donates money to an organization every year.
